Construction law
Practical, experienced counsel for contractors, developers, and everyone who builds in Tennessee.
From the first contract to a courtroom, construction projects generate more legal exposure than almost any other kind of business — delays, defects, disputed payments, licensing questions, and disagreements that can stall a project entirely. Jeanne Harrison brings over a decade of construction law experience at some of the nation's top firms to every stage of a project, helping clients avoid disputes when possible and resolve them decisively when not.
